Primary Schools in London
 Primary schools play an exceptionally important role in a child’s development. London primary Schools can be either state run or private. But the most important thing about any of the primary schools in London is that it has a good standard of teaching and the curriculum is adhered to.
The choice of state school is primarily according to the catchment area a family lives in. At nct-orpington.org.uk there will be advice on the local schools in Orpington, as well as the choices across the Bromley borough. The important points along the educational pathway in the primary schools in London are the Key Stages.
These are split into stages 1, 2 and 3. They point to a child’s development and learning abilities. The schools with high ratings on Key Stages are obviously the better ones with effective teaching. Apart from the educational aspect, primary schools can be good places to meet and make new friends.
Most have a Parent Teacher Association (PTA) which will work with the school staff to raise money. Primary schools in London with a PTA are keen for parents to get involved and many parents find its well worth making the effort.
The children enjoy the events such as summer fairs and Christmas parties, and parents get the opportunity mix with people apart from family or work mates. Often, the same people who met at the NCT and online at nct-orpington.org.uk, then hook up again as the children get older. It can lead to life long friendships both the parents and the children.
